Football Media Guide 2016 LIKE A WARRIOR WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALLWSUATHLETICS.COM MEDIA GUIDE 2016 At Wayne State University, we expect as much excellence in the classroom as we do on the field, on the court or in the water. Last year, our student-athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.16, and 161 of them received all-academic honors. That doesn’t mean we don’t give it our all in every one of our 18 athletic programs. The proof is 29 conference titles in the last 10 years and National Player of the Year award winners in football, softball and basketball. Learn more about our programs on the web or come watch us compete. When you do, you’ll see why Wayne State Warriors understand what it means to be a student-athlete: The student always comes first. wayne.edu/athletics TABLE OF CONTENTS MISSION STATEMENT 2016 WSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are The 2016 Wayne State University Football Media Guide is a TABLE OF CONTENTS an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of publication of the WSU Sports Information Offi ce.

  • NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No
    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 2, Feb. 27, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Jeff Hurd Before basketball’s March Madness descends upon us, it is a little amazing that some Division I baseball teams are approaching the 20-game mark (notably Kansas at 9-7-1 through Feb. 23 and Cal Poly at 12- 4 prior to its Feb. 25-29 games). Before you know it, the NCAA Regionals will be upon us. This absolutely is one of the busiest but most intriguing times of the college sports year with as many as 10-12 sports occurring simultaneously from baseball to men’s volleyball to golf to indoor track to gosh- knows-what. It’s also refreshing to welcome the initial 2004 NCAA Division II NCBWA poll to this month’s newsletter and to see some of the baseball teams from cooler weather regions migrating south for the annual ritual of spring break baseball. The incessant pings of the aluminum bats remind us that the sights and smells of springtime and conference baseball cannot be far off; enjoy and sneak out of the arenas when time permits for some great diamond activity. Sincerely, Jeff Hurd - NCBWA President - Western Athletic Conference NCBWA Division I Players of Week The NCBWA Division I National Players of the Week are into their third week of the 2004 season. Nominees for the aw2ard are taken from Conference players of the week and announced on Tuesday. NCBWA Vice-President Mike Montoro of Southern Miss ([email protected]) coordinates the weekly awards.

  • Andrea Roumell Dickson, Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff
    Submitted by: Andrea Roumell Dickson, Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff PUBLIC RELATIONS The following is a compilation of highlights of recent media coverage of Wayne State University. • Fall enrollment declines were cited as a factor in the Wayne State University Board of Governors decision to freeze hiring and implement other measures to fill an $8 million budget shortfall. Richard Bernstein , Board of Governors vice chair, is quoted in the story which ran on Dec. 3-4 in the Detroit News , Chicago Tribune , WWJ-AM , Great Lakes IT Report and WUOM-FM . An earlier Detroit News Web version story also mentioned that the board approved the creation of the School of Library and Information Science effective next year. The school will house the existing Library and Information Science program, which has grown from 125 students in 1987 to more than 600 today, according to WSU Provost Nancy Barrett . Sandra Yee , dean of University Libraries and Library and Information Science, will become the school's new dean. The Library Journal ran a feature story on Dec. 10. • A Dec. 9 WDET-FM item aired regarding Wayne State’s collaboration with the University Research Corridor • The Detroit Free Press and WDET-FM ran Dec. 3 stories about Wayne State University and Lawrence Technological University announcing plans to assist financially strained students and displaced workers. The stories indicated that Wayne State is temporarily suspending its policy of restricting registration to only those students who have paid all fees in full. Under the new temporary tuition and fee payment grace period program, students who owe $1,500 or less may register for Winter 2009 classes and have until Jan.

Ethan Smith Abstract Entrepreneurship has been touted as a crucial lens for the future of sports manage- ment scholarship (Hardy, 1996; Ratten, 2011). Ratten (2011a) specifically proposed sport entrepreneurship “as a category of entrepreneurship that fosters economic development in the sports management field” (p. 60). Yet, to date, no scholarly lit- erature has applied the sports-entrepreneurship lens to local football (soccer) clubs in the United States. Thus, the purpose of this article is to use the lens of sport en- trepreneurship to introduce the phenomenon of supporter owned football clubs in the United States (U.S.).

  • Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Tradition
    DETROIT’S THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world's bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that's how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. That's when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. "Dick" Richards, owner of the city's new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion. DETROIT AND THANKSGIVING DAY No other team in professional sports can claim to be as much a part of an American holiday as can the Detroit Lions with Thanksgiving.
